🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 6 cups (cubed) Bread (preferably day-old, French or brioche)
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or six ramekins.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and melted butter. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

4. Add the diced apples to the custard mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

5. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes and gently fold until the bread absorbs the liquid. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to ensure thorough soaking.

6. Spoon the bread pudding mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin or ramekins, pressing down lightly to pack the mixture into each cup.

7. Place the muffin tin or ramekins onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the custard is set.

8. Remove from the oven and allow the bread pudding cups to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the tin or serving directly in the ramekins.

9. Serve warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
